A Heated Argument

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

The young filly Sweetie Belle awoke from here sleep, starring at the window as the sun gleamed through the transparent glass. Shu got up and grabbed here bookbag from the floor, ready to confront the new princess of equestria. She heard a knock on the downstairs and immediately rushed down, guessing that rarity and the rest of the crusaders were in front of the door.

"Good morning, dear." said Cookie Crumbles.
"How was your night." said Hondo Flanks.

"It was okay." said the young filly.

"We heard you're visiting Princess Twilight today." Cookie Crumbles continues,"I remember when you just a filly cooking us breakfast, now all of a sudden she's meeting up with the princess!"

"Our daughter's making big steps." said Hondo Flanks continues "well, we shouldn't keep you any longer, we just wanted to show that where proud of you."

"Thanks, dad." Sweetie Belle continues "I'll be back home after meeting with the princess".

Sweetie Belle opened the door to see Rarity and the crusaders. Sweetie Belle took a deep breath to calm her nerves and breathed out while letting out a sigh.
Sweetie Belle and the others began walking to the train station to cantorlot.

The train itself is decorated with a lavish brown and gold colors with a red carpet.
The crusaders sat down on the beautiful red seats with rarity and discuss what they will say to the princess.

"So what do wanna say, that she's our friend even if she betrayed us."Scootaloo continues were going to need more than that if we're going to convince Twilight."

"Ah don't know if we should even try to make a case for Cozy Glow, what she did was horrible." Applebloom said.

"I know, but she still helped us when Twilight accused us of teaching her the wrong things so she could fail." Sweetie Belle protested.

"True, but it was all because she failed on purpose and how do we know that she wasn't using us for her plan." Scootaloo said.

Sweetie Belle gulped in fear of the truth, what if Cozy Glow was using them, she struggled to reckon with this thought, however she truly did not know much about her which made her come up with a rebuttal.

"That may be true...but we still don't know anything about her, that's why we should free her so we can get answers." Sweetie Belle stated.

The crusaders nodded in agreement and decided that this will be there main argument.

Moments later, the Crusaders and Rarity walked in the halls of Princess Twilight who has a new throne in the throne room.
The mane six all gathered around the princess and sat next to her. The Crusaders bowed down out of respect for Twilight Sparkle.

"Greetings Princess we are humbled for giving us a chance to plea for Cozy Glow to be freed from stone." Sweetie Belle than pulled out a newspaper from the the free foal press and showed everyone which shocked most of the mane six.

Applejack the orange earth pony with a western hat was the first to respond.

"Why in tarnation would you want one of equestria's worst villans freed?" Asked Applejack.

"We believe that the punishment that was given was unjust due to a lack of knowledge of her past." Applebloom said.

The main six starred at each other realizing there is truth in what Applebloom claimed but are also confused because no one has spoken up for Cozy Glow.

Fluttershy, the yellow pony with a pink long mane was the first to speak.

"As much as I understand the reasoning, do you believe that Cozy Glow can be reevaluated into equestria?"

The three fillies where unable to truthfully say that she could be redeemed but despite this they respond with a claim of there own

"We cannot confirm whether she is redeemable or not but what we can do is try because you all believed that friendship is for everyone." Sweetie Belle said.

Rainbow Dash, the blue pony with a rainbow colored mane spoke

"Friendship is for everyone but not everyone will agree with what friendship represents, we tried to teach Cozy Glow but she went crazy and tried destroy equestria!" Rainbow Dash continues "she also tried to kill us, were you're friends too."

"We won't deny that these crimes are very serious, she tried to send all the magic from equestria to another world and tried to kill a budding princess of equestria, however we have been studying about discord and he's friends with us now despite everything he did in the past if discord can change, then I believe that a child should be given a second chance."
Scootaloo said.

"Cozy Glow had plenty of chances when she escaped from tarturus to not be evil and chose to get revenge, I'm sorry but my decision is finale." Twilight said as she stood firm on her decision.

Sweetie Belle was enraged because of the she beilived that Twilight was being hypocritical about Cozy Glow. A raging glare was imprinted on her face.

"I see how it is, because you're the new princess you can just choose who can't be redeemed." Sweetie Belle responded.

"Sweetie Belle!" Rarity exclaimed. "You know full well you dangerous she is!" Rarity chided.

"I argue that Discord is more dangerous because he could corrupt people into fighting oneanother, I know because it happened to me and my friends and we read up on how Discord's powers work at the school of friendship when we were tutoring other students." Sweetie Belle continues. "How can you say that Cozy Glow is irredeemable when Discord was redeemed."

This statement struck a nerve to Twilight as she stood in a intimidating pose with wings expanded.

"What do you know of Discord's redemption!" Twilight exclaimed. "He has fought for equestria for and if it wasn't for his efforts you would be freezing with the wendigos by now."

Sweetie Belle was distraught but not deterred she truly believes that Twilight isn't giving Cozy Glow a fair chance. As she tried to say something else, Applebloom intervened.

"Ah apologize for Sweetie Belle. She just believes that Cozy Glow should not be encased in stone because we don't what her reasoning is." Applebloom chimed in.

"I understand that but I can't risk equestria safety just for a criminal." Twilight stated harshly.

"She was a filly, Twilight and she had plenty of to time to learn what she did was wrong." Scootaloo continues. "you gave Discord a chance so you not give a filly another chance."

"Cozy Glow knew what she was doing and once you get your cutie mark you're more responsible for certain crimes." Twilight said.

"Ah get that but mah fellow crusaders agreed that we need to free Cozy Glow so that we can help her." Applebloom said

"We already tried and failed there is no redemption for her." Twilight said

"It sounds to me like you gave up on one of your students." Scootaloo said

"If that's how how you want to take it then fine because I have to validate the emotions of the majority, not the minority." Twilight said.

"Ah might be speaking out of term but Celestia sealed discord into stone due to his behavior, won't this cause any repercussions down the line, because she could become vengeful again after she's freed." Applebloom questioned fearlessly.

"If that happens than we will be ready" Twilight said confidently.

"Ah gotta ask, why do y'all care about what happens to Cozy Glow." Applejack Asked.

"We wanna help Cozy Glow, we believe that she haven't didn't understand the magic of friendship". Applebloom said.

"You're right but she put innocent peoples lives in danger because of her selfish desires and Equestria will be in danger once Tirek,Chrysalis and Cozy Glow will be released." Twilight said.

"So you're okay with repeating Celestia's mistakes?" Scootaloo asked.

"What Celestia did was for the good of all of us, end of story!" Twilight exclaimed.

Sweetie Belle dropped her graduation certificate from her bag and said "How can you claim to be a princess of friendship if you can't make Cozy Glow a friend." With tears in her eyes from disappointment and despair.

Sweetie Belle walked away crying while the other crusaders left to walk after her.

"You know they have a point."
Pinkie Pie said.

"But we must keep equestria safe for everyone." Twilight demanded.

The scenery outside the castle did not match the mood of the crusaders, the sun was shining a brilliant glimmer, as the crusaders sat in a donut shop in canterlot to take a break. Sweetie belle was still crying about Cozy Glow, she still wanted to find put the truth but with Twilight standing in the way she might never know.

"What is Twilight thinking, does she not think that our voices are important!?" Sweetie Belle yelled angrily.

"I know!" Scootaloo agreed, "Discord was a bad guy but when they gave Discord a chance he became good so how could not give Cozy Glow the same treatment."

"Ah don't know, but we won't ever hear Cozy's side of the story at this rate".

"I'm going home, I'll see you guys later at the clubhouse." Sweetie Belle said solemnly.

"We hope you're alright." said Applebloom.

"I will be." Said Sweetie Belle.

"Excuse me?" someone said.

The crusaders turned around to see Starlight Glimmer.

"I have to agree, I would like to see her side of the story aswell. "Starlight Glimmer said.
